The media personality didn’t take kindly to Maher’s unwarranted comments about his relationships, claiming on Tuesday’s episode of The Howard Stern Show that he should “keep his mouth shut.”

“What a sexist statement! What a convoluted, crazy statement,” Stern said, firing back. “It assumes he knows something about my first marriage. That of course the man leaves the woman and the woman must be devastated and sit around pining for her famous husband.”

I don’t think I go on air every day and say, ‘I love my wife.’ But I thought it was a pretty positive message to say to guys – especially to my audience – “How about we talk about appreciating and loving them instead of making fun of our wives?”</p><p>Stern argued that Maher seemed “very concerned about my relationship” and revealed that he reached out to him via email and asked him to be honest about his opinions about his life.</p><p>“I wrote in an email, ‘Why don’t you call me?’ Why don’t you tell me what you think about my life and my marriage, because it’s you, you know?
